I wore my Cynthia Vincent for Target wedges today. They are awesome, and actually very comfortable.
Here’s today’s ensemble:
Cardigan- Express (I wear this one A LOT); Silk Top w/ Hearts- Forever 21; Skirt- BCBG; Shoes- Cynthia Vincent for Target.
Do you wear wedges to work? Here in Texas it seems like everyone wears open-toed shoes once it’s hot out.
xoxo,
Veronika.

So cute!! I love those wedges! I wear open toe shoes all the time, but people are pretty causal in Cali. Aren't those wedges the best?

My car read that it was 98 degrees out today! Yikes! (I also live in Houston).

Love this outfit! I have a similar black cardigan from NY&Company that I wear all the time.
I'm on my feet nearly all day as teacher, so wedges are the best way to go for me. I hate wearing flats because then my students tower over me!

Love the wedges with that navy outfit! I think tan and navy make a great combo. And here in SoCal, everyone wears open toed shoes year round 😉
Rebecca says
I'm still wearing pumps to work right now. It is a little too cold for open toed shows, and our dress code says we have to wear closed toes until after Labor Day.

The wedges are adorable! As soon as spring hits in NY out come the open toe shoes for me
Jessica says
I have those wedges as well and I love them! I am planning on wearing them to work on Friday. I love wearing open-toed shoes when it starts warming up.

I promise you I am NOT trying to be rude. I will admit I am not much of a fashionista and it seems you definitely are. So I ask this with complete respect. It's OK to wear brown shoes with black clothes now? I always thought that was a HUGE "do not wear" like a navy shirt with black pants.

anon- my skirt and top are navy. But Yes, it is OK to wear black and brown together. I think it's the old way of thinking that they can't be worn together anymore. Here are some links:

lots of different opinions on it, but I like black and brown together, personally.
I also wear black and navy together though too! I think you just have to be mindful of the combinations you choose 🙂

hey, so were they comfy? I read a few blogs that think they look awesome but their feet were really irritated after wearing.

mrshark- after having worn them once, i do feel they are very comfortable. I was surprised actually at how comfy they were 🙂
Hope says
As always, I adore your outfit!

I love your Cynthia Vincent wedges! I always had my eye on both colors – the brown and the pretty yellow ones. Good to know they are comfy!! Love your look!

Thanks for clearing that up for me Veronika! I didn't realize your outfit was navy blue, but just the same, I'm glad to know black and brown isn't a huge NO anymore! I agree, there are some nice combinations of it…
Andi says
Love the shoes and outfit! Love that you're trying something different (not black!) LOL. You look great as always 🙂
Carina the Blogarina says
I love the top! I see you write there are little hearts, but they look like dots and I'm weak for dotted clothing.
emily☆ says
Sadly open toed shoes are not really allowed in any workplace I've been. I have a couple of closed toed wedges but it's not the same!
I love that skirt too
[email protected] says
it's just the way they've photographed (blurry) they are hearts for sure 🙂 <3
French lover says
That silk top is so gorgeous !! I love navy, it's my absolute favorite :)))

Veronika, I know you're fairly tall, do you ever feel self concious wearing heels and being taller than most girls? I'm 5'10 and always hesitate wearing anything more than 1-2 inches. Flats are what I always feel safe wearing.
[email protected] says
sara- i wear 4 inch heels almost every day! even taller sometimes! I honestly love being tall and love to wear heels. I think for my job too, heels look much more professional. I do get a lot of comments about being tall, but they are always so complimentary like "you should be a model or you look like a model" so that has actually made it easier for me to wear heels because I do get positive response.
I am not saying that to brag, I hope it is not taken that way at all, but I just think if you carry yourself with confidence and aren't afraid to just be who you are (and for me, wearing heels is a part of that) then people will notice your confidence and be drawn to you and respons positively.
I am 5'10 as well 🙂
sara says
What a quick response! I guess it's one of those things that you must feel 100% comfortable doing or else you'll just be concious of it all the time and won't enjoy it. It's sometimes hard since my bf is 5'10 too, so anything with a heel and I am taller than him (not good for his ego). Maybe I'll bite the bullet one day and go out wearing 4 inch heels!
[email protected] says
sara- my husband is 6ft and I wear heels all the time and am a bit taller. I think it's sexy!
sara says
It's nice to get feed back from other girls who are tall as well.
Love your blog btw, I read it all the time at work, it's great that you update it so often!
[email protected] says
thanks so much sara 🙂 I appreciate your comments! you know, when I was younger I used to be a bit self concious about being tall, but now I embrace it…there is something powerful about being tall.
sara says
Your welcome! I totally agree with you, tall is sexy and shows a certain kind of confidence. I'll ditch my flats one day lol
PeridotKutie says
I wear open toed shoes almost year round! Or atleast a peep toe.. I'll wear boots if it's frigid or snowing, but I prefer the open toe/peep toe look. Love your new wedges!
Jessica says
Very cute outfit! 🙂 Follow back?
